AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan mengonservasi sistem fonologi bahasa Limola. Data dikumpulkan melalui instrumen berisikan 200 kosakata swadesh dan 200 kosakata budaya. Kosakata tersebut berbahasa Indonesia dan diterjemahkan dalam bahasa Limola berdasarkan kebutuhan data. Analisis data dilakukan dengan mentranskripsikan data dalam bentuk fonetis. Setelah data ditranskripsikan, dilakukan pembuktian klasifikasi dan distribusi fonem. Selanjutnya menelaah penyukuan dan perubahan bunyi dalam bahasa Limola. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bahasa Limola memiliki lima buah fonem vokal dasar dan tiga belas vokal variasi, sehingga secara keseluruhan terdapat delapan belas vokal yang berfungsi sebagai pembeda makna. Lima vokal dasar bahasa Limola adalah /i/, /e/, /a/, /u/, /o/ dan tiga belas vokal variasi atau alofon dari lima vokal dasar, yaitu adalah /i/ = [i:], [ii], [I]; /e/= [e:], [ɛ], {ɛ:]; /a/= [a:], [aa]; /o/= [o:], [oo], [ɔ]; dan /u/=[u:], [uu]. Uniknya, bahasa Limola selain memiliki diftong, seperti [ia], [ea], [ai], [oɛ], [ua] dan lainnya, juga memiliki diftong yang disebut sebagai diftong kembar atau identik yang terdapat pada bunyi vokal tertentu, yakni bunyi /ii/, /aa/, /oo/, dan /uu/. Keempat bunyi tersebut merupakan bunyi vokal depan /aa/ dan /ii/ dan vokal belakang /oo/ dan /uu/. Selanjutnya, fonem konsonan bahasa Limola terdiri atas tujuh belas konsonan dan ada enam fonem yang tidak ditemukan di dalam bahasa Limola, yaitu, /f/, /h/, /x/, /z/, /q/, dan /v/. Penyukuan bahasa Limola adalah V, VK, KV, KVK, KVV. Selanjutnya, perubahan bunyi bahasa Limola berdasarkan pada proses fonologis melalui asimilasi, diftongisasi, monoftongisasi, anaptiksis, protesis, epentesisi, paragoge, dan zeroisasi. Kata kunci: konservasi, fonologi, bahasa Limola AbstractThe research aims to conserve the phonology system of the Limola language. The data collected using an instrument containing 200 words of Swadesh and 200 words of culture. The words in the Indonesian language were translated into the Limola language based on the data needs. Data analysis was conducted by transcribing data in phonetic form. After the data transcribed, it was proving the classification and distribution of phonemes. Next, the researchers examined the syllable and sound changes that occurred in the Limola language. The results show that the Limola language has five basic vowel phonemes and thirteen vowels of variation, thus in total, eighteen Limola vowels function as distinctive meaning. The five basic vowels are /i/, /e/, /a/, /u/, /o/ and the thirteen vowels are /i/ = [i:], [ii], [I]; /e/= [e:], [ɛ], {ɛ:]; /a/= [a:], [aa]; /o/= [o:], [oo], [ɔ]; and /u/=[u:], [uu]. Apart from diphthongs such as [ia], [ea], [ai], [o], [ua], and others, the Limola language also has diphthongs known as twin or identical diphthongs, which are found in some vowels, i.e., [ii], [aa], [oo], and [uu]. The four sounds are the front vowel, namely [aa] and [ii], and the back vowel, namely [oo] and [uu]. Furthermore, the Limola consonant phoneme consists of seventeen consonants and there are six phonemes that are not found in the Limola language, namely, /f/, /h/, /x/, /z/, /q/, and /v/. The syllables of the Limola language are V, VK, KV, KVK, KVV. Then, the phonological process of assimilation, diphthongization, monophthongization, anaptyxis, prosthesis, epenthesis, paragoge, and zeroization is being used to demonstrate the sound changes throughout the Limola language. Keywords: conservation, phonology, the Limola language

This paper evaluates and expands upon previously suggested sound rules governing the phonological outcome of early root-initial proto-sibilants (*s- and *ś-) and proto-affricates (*š-, *ć- and *č-) in Late Proto-Yukaghir (PY), as shown by cognate correspondences in Proto-Uralic (PU) and by Tungusic and Turkic borrowings. The proto-sibilant *s- underwent deletion (*Ø-), retention (*s-) or lateralization (*l-); *ś- was retained unchanged and earlier *š- had changed into *č- in PY. Universally, PY proto-sibilants and proto-affricates find regular lexical correspondences in PU as described by a set of non-trivial phonological rules: Pre-PY *sVr/k/γ- > PY *lVr/k/γ-: a regular lateralization of the sibilant in Yukaghiric occurred with back vowels and *-r-, *-k- and possibly *-γ-, but not *-q-, through an intermediary hypothetical *θ- stage. Pre-PY *sVl/ŋ- > PY *ØVl/ŋ-: a sibilant deletion rule occurred with any vowel and *-l- or *- ŋ-. However, all structures of the intermediate type Pre-PY *sV1ŋ/l/m/n-k/q-V2-, where V1 is a back vowel, pose an exception wherein sibilant deletion was blocked, and the sibilant was either retained or changed into a lateral. Sibilant deletion still occurred in these cases if V1 was a front vowel. Pre-PY *ś- > PY *ś- > KY š- & TY s-: the Yukaghir lexicon in these cases likely developed through intermediate *š’-/*θ’- from Old Yukaghir. Furthermore, Pre-PY *š- > PY *č- regularly. All of these sound changes are controlled by phonology and affect borrowings as well as inherited vocabulary from before PY, but do not affect post-PY borrowings. The sibilant-deletion rule is clearly an influence from extensive language contacts with Yakut-speakers, and certain roots show that the Yukaghir rules of synharmonism were already in effect prior to sibilant deletion. In addition, the results are concurrent with several older cognate suggestions between Uralic and Yukaghiric and further add to this corpus. Identifying these historical processes also strengthens the evidence that the Yukaghir languages are genetically related to the Uralic language family.

Sound symbolism – the idea that there are motivated links between the sound of a word and its meaning has been established to be an existing phenomenon across different languages. Especially size sound symbolism seems to be a functional feature in many languages meaning that different types of vowels in words are associated with different physical size. Words with front vowels (e.g. little, tiny) are more likely to be used to indicate small physical size whereas words with back vowels (e.g. humungous, huge) are more likely to indicate large physical size. Because physical size plays an important role in ratings of attractiveness, we tested whether vowels in first names can influence how attractive the bearer of the name is perceived. In our experiment, participants saw faces paired with popular first names and rated the attractiveness of the depicted person. Masculine names were paired with pictures of men and feminine names with pictures of women. The names either contained a front or back vowel in the accented syllable and were within gender group randomly paired with pictures. We found that female raters preferred faces paired with back vowel names while male raters preferred faces paired with front vowel names, showing that the rater's gender – far more than the gender of the depicted person – determined the relationship between vowel quality and perceived attractiveness of faces. Our results confirm the role of sound symbolism in perception of attractiveness.

The Javanese language belongs to language which has unique phonological system. There are so many foreign language has influenced the development of Javanese. This study is intended to examine the sound change of borrowing word of foreign language in Javanese which is found in Panjebar Semangat magazine. The data is taken from Panjebar and checked using old Javanese dictionary. This study belongs to descriptive qualitative research and used Simak method and Non Participant Observation in collecting the data. The data analysis is done by using Padan method. The result of the study reveals three sound changes of vowels sound and four phonological rules. Then, there are four types of sound change and four phonological rule of consonant sound. The result showed that the sound change of borrowing word in Javanese is influenced by the differences of phonological system between Javanese and the foreign language.

This paper discusses phonological innovations in Loloan Malay (BML) by using diachronic dialectology approach. The purposes of this paper are (1) to describe the reflex of protolanguage phonems on BML, and (2) describing the sound changes in BML . Data collected by using simak and cakap techniques. Data analysis using the comparative methode (bottom-up reconstruction technique). From this study, it was found that in the BML dialectal variations manifested in phonological aspects are the regular innovation (correspondece) and irregular innovation (variation) as a reflex of protolanguage that lowers BML. The correspondence are split of *A > BML *@ and substitution *a, *u, *i, and *k > BML /@/, /i/, /o/, /?/, and deletion of *? and *h > BML 0. The variation appears in the form of assimilation, dissimilation, apheresis, syncope, prothesis, and methatesis.

The present study used an artificial grammar learning paradigm to explore the prediction that exposure to anti-harmony might help learners infer that a neutral vowel in a vowel harmony language is transparent. Participants were exposed to a back/round harmony language with a neutral vowel [a]. This neutral vowel either always selected a back vowel suffix,  always selected a front vowel suffix, or selected both front-and back vowel suffixes, in adherence to anti-harmony. Results indicated that exposure to a back/round harmony with the neutral vowel selecting either back vowel suffixes, or both front and back vowel suffixes, could induce a bias towards transparent vowels. Assuming that participants inferred that the centralized [a] paired with [o] harmonically, then the predictions that exposure to anti-harmony could induce a bias towards a transparent vowel interpretation were borne out. However, the bias towards a transparent vowel was not significantly different between the anti-harmony conditions and the harmony condition, suggesting that this effect should be replicated with other neutral vowels.

The purpose of this study was to find out the various phonological processes in the affixation process in the formation of verbs in the Bayan dialect Sasak language. The method of data analysis with the Agih method and equivalent. Agih method with the technique of sorting out elements directly. The researcher sorted out the affixes forming verbs and Bayan dialect of Sasak verbs. Then, the researcher used the matching method with the direct element sorting technique whose elemental breaker was in the form of an articular phonetic fragment. After that, the researcher describes the phonological processes that occur according to their type with Schane's generative phonological theory (1992). The result of this study shows that the influence of sound around the environment can make the other sounds appear that have the closest characteristics. This led to the phonological process in the form of changes in the structure of the syllable and vocal neutrality. First, In the verb word morphophonemic process with the affixation of the prefix /bə-/ indicating the phonological process in the form of changes in the syllable structure in the form of consonant sound insertion [r], and [l]. Second, In the verb word morphophonemic process with affixation / -aŋ / showing the phonological process in the form of a change in syllable structure in the form of semi vowel sound insertion [w], and [y]. Third, A case of neutralization occurs when the sound [ə] is pronounced to sound [a], if the sound [ə] at the end position meets the vowel [a]. The distinguishing or distinctive feature that is neutralized is the characteristic [+ tense] of the sound [ə] to [-tense] or [+ lax]. [-Tense] or [+ lax] are the effects of vowels [a].Keywords: verbs, Bayan dialect Sasak language, changes in silabel structure of sound, and  sound neutralization

This research entitled is Phonology of Kanaumana Kolana Language. The purpose of this study was to describe the system of phonemes and describe the phonological processes found in Kanaumana Kolana language. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative method. Data collected in the form of the sounds of language Kanaumana Kolana obtained from interviews with native speakers Kanaumana Kolana. Based on the research results Language Kanaumana Kolana had six vowels were vowel /i/, /u/, /e/, /ɛ/, /o/ and /a/, thirteen consonant, the consonant resistor: /p, b, t, d, j, k, g/, consonant fricatives: /s/, consonant nasal: /m, n, ŋ/, consonant liquid or lateral: / l /, consonant trill / r / and two semi-vowels: / y, w /. The existence of the six vowels, twelve consonant and two glides supported by evidence using minimal pairs at the time to identify sounds such phonemes in a language Kanaumana Kolana. Phonological processes found in Kanaumana Kolana language there were two, they were the deletion process syllable structure and deletion processes accompanied by changes in the structure of the syllable form phonemes sound changes. The phonological processes found during the two segments combined into one segment. Keywords: phoneme, phonological process, ruling

The aim of this study is to test the influence of sound symbolism on perceived characteristics of a brand as well as to highlight the importance of applied social psychology to current practice of advertising. Previous research showed that the phonetic structure of brand name communicates its characteristics, i.e. it drives consumers to assess certain features and performance of the product. I assumed that when consumers encounter an unknown brand name, they automatically infer characteristics from the meaning conveyed by the sounds (e.g. phonemes). Therefore, I supposed that a brand name for a shampoo (artificially created on experimental purpose) containing back vowel is evaluated better by consumers when they compare it to another brand name with front vowels. Furthermore, for the accuracy of responses, I used the semantic differential scale to measure the differences between two brands in terms of certain attributes of product. To this end, fifty students (N=50) participated in a research based on questionnaire. As the results of the current research showed, the brand name with back vowel outnumbered the brand name with front vowel on two dimension, i.e. on brand activity and brand efficiency. The brand name containing front vowel was rated better when subjects evaluated the product in generally. Last, but not least, when it comes to convey meanings, the sound of back vowels [a] could be used more when marketers promote products that communicate its characteristics such as efficiency, velocity and health. The back vowel could be also assessed to products with larger packing or special sailing such as extra quantity. Meanwhile, the brand names with front vowels [ie] could be created for more expensive products with good quality, mainly addressed to men.

PurposeThe current study aims firstly to explain the origin of the morphemic segments of Rongga language, either at the phonological or the phonetic level and the terms of the morphemic structure of Rongga, whether related to positive or if-then conditions. The second objective is to describe the phonological process of Rongga from the changing process of phonemic into phonetic realization.Design/methodology/approachAs far as the methodology is concerned, three methods are applied including (1) method of collecting data, (2) data analysis methods and (3) method of presenting the result of data analysis. The literary method is defined as a way of obtaining written materials that can support the primary data as additional data.FindingsThe findings of compression placement on Rongga reveal that firstly, the monosyllabic words, whether or not preceded by a consonant, whether or not preceded by a consonant stressed on a single syllable and whether or not preceded by a consonant or before the second syllable, both of which either precedes the consonant or do not follow a word boundary. Second, three and four monosyllabic words will be stressed on the last syllable if they precede the consonant or not.Originality/valueThe results are expected to be considered as one of the primary contributions to the determination of the orthographic system of Rongga, in particular, the consonant and unique vowel in Rongga.
